Oldest original C-card around

I just relaminated a c-card replaced in 1990 ( after losing the original ).
Do people still have their original c-cards and does anyone like me use a
very old one to dive with when ID is necessary ( quite a few " is this card
for real looks " from the young'uns)?

Mine is currently dated 06/06/96 and is a NASDS Advance Diver Card
issued by Southern Tasmanian Divers. If memory serves Jak Denny was the
instructor. It contains the picture from my original Basic Divers FAUI
CARD from 1986 I have hair in it which I don't have now.

Not bad but mine is a 1990 ORIGINAL PADI Advance Diver replacement card.
Been using it ever since.

Leee still has his original card... He definitely gets strange looks when
he tries to use it... YMCA 1969 or so, IIRC...

intersected in them. However it has to be the original card, not a
replacement

Mine is original unlaminated with a bit of the bottom missing (breaking up)

It is dated 1/80 and is numbered A0541 of the National Qualification System.

I used it yesterday, though I leave it inside the plastic sleeve of the NGQ
passbook thing that holds my log and qualification register.

Now that you have mentioned laminating, I think I'll get mine done tomorrow
(we have a laminator in the office)

Slackers. 1984 PADI OW. Although depending on my wants and needs, I
usually pull out my PADI Rescue or my OWSI.
